Multiple outlets confirm that Michael B. Jordan is set to produce Static Shock

It was revealed that Jordan has officially boarded the movie adaptation of the comic book. He’ll produce the pic through his Warner Bros-based Outlier Society banner. Jordan confirmed the news with a very low-key tweet.

The comic’s titular character is a teen who transforms into a superhero with electromagnetic powers.

“I’m proud to be a part of building a new universe centered around Black superheroes; our community deserves that,” Jordan said in a statement. “Outlier Society is committed to bringing to life diverse comic book content across all platforms and we are excited to partner with Reggie and Warner Bros. on this initial step.”
